Terence Crawford, known for his calm demeanor, recounted that the situation tested his patience. He recently shared details about a heated encounter with R&B star Trey Songz during a celebrity basketball event hosted by rapper 50 Cent. The altercation began when Trey Songz challenged Crawford to a $100 jump-shooting contest. After Crawford made his shot and Songz missed, tensions flared when the singer refused to pay up and began antagonizing the boxing champion.
50 Cent?
Crawford recalled being taken aback by Songz’s audacious behavior, even questioning if the singer was under the influence. As the situation escalated, 50 Cent intervened to defuse the conflict, preventing what could have been a physical altercation. Terence Crawford humorously recounted warning Songz to “go over there and start singing to somebody.”
This story comes as Crawford continues to prepare for a potential super-fight against Mexican boxing icon Canelo Álvarez later this year. The bout, tentatively scheduled for September, would see two of boxing’s pound-for-pound greats face off in what is expected to be one of the sport’s biggest events.

Known for his exceptional fight IQ, versatility in switching stances, and knockout power, Crawford boasts a pristine 41-0 record with 31 wins by knockout.
